Chapter 91
Immortality cannot be attained!
The various Supremes returned disappointed, each with their Qi and Blood depleted, wanting to return to the Great Universe to blood sacrifice living beings.
Even with the Taiyin Human Emperor guarding the world, they could no longer care; if pushed too far, they would even devour the Human Emperor.
Under these circumstances, the Human Emperor blocked these Supremes in the Immortal Passage, not allowing them to return to the Great Universe to cause trouble.
And a desperate Supreme Great War thus erupted!
And the Human Emperor was indeed worthy of being a generation's Human Ancestor, combat power shocking gods and moving immortals, roaming the myriad ages undefeated.
Even when the various Supremes underwent Extreme Sublimation, they were still dragged to death by the Human Emperor, ultimately killed one by one.
But the Human Emperor also suffered heavy injuries; after all, there were several Imperial Path Experts, not much weaker than him, merely lacking in Qi and Blood.
But for him, this was not too severe a consequence; after all, as a Current Era Great Emperor, such Dao Injuries could recover after recuperating for a time.
But just at this critical moment, the Undying Heavenly Emperor launched a sneak attack.
Gu Xuan, through that corner of the Yin Ji, saw the desperate scene of that time.
In the Immortal Passage where various Immortal Spirits and Imperial Path Laws raged violently, the Human Emperor was covered in blood, injuries severe, sitting cross-legged regulating his breath to heal wounds.
Suddenly.
A five-colored Heavenly Knife cleaved through, transcending the restrictions of time and space, heavily injuring the Taiyin Human Emperor, even the Immortal Platform could not escape unscathed.
This desperate scene was exactly like when Gu Xuan in his First Life's twilight years, the Undying Daoist launched a sneak attack, almost identical.
This also stirred the memories deeply hidden in Gu Xuan's sea of consciousness, causing his pupils to involuntarily contract slightly.
And the Human Emperor was also peerlessly powerful.
Even at this most weak, most lax moment, he still circulated his remaining Dao power, sacrificed the Human Emperor Seal, shattered the five-colored Heavenly Knife, and heavily injured the Undying Heavenly Emperor.
But the Human Emperor ultimately perished!
At the moment of death, he cast his Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon out of the Immortal Path.
"The Immortal Path opens, perhaps it is merely the Undying Heavenly Emperor's conspiracy……"
Finally, leaving behind a long sigh, it was the Human Emperor's speculation before his passing, obviously to warn Gu Xuan with this.
Thus, that corner of the Yin Ji ended here.
Indeed!
The Taiyin Human Emperor's death was caused by the Undying Heavenly Emperor's conspiracy!
This matched Gu Xuan's earlier speculation.
Just how many people did the Undying Heavenly Emperor sneak attack……
The Di Zun, Taiyin Human Emperor, Dou Zhan Holy Emperor, perhaps also the Taiyang Sheng Huang.
If following the original historical trajectory, there would also be the Tai Huang, Ye Fan, perhaps even the Wushi Great Emperor among them.
These are all known and speculatable; there may be other Ancient Emperors, Great Emperors, merely unknown to the world.
And this person is extremely skilled in this way.
Although as the Ten Thousand Races' Supreme God of the Primordial Era, his own strength is not low, he likes to arrange conspiracy methods, almost always striking when others are in their twilight years or heavily injured!
The Taiyin Human Emperor's fall is a typical example of this.
Thinking of these, even Gu Xuan couldn't help but have his pupils shrink slightly.
Therefore now, he is also old, and the Void is at the moment of Nirvana, unable to help.
If at this moment the Immortal Path opens, the Forbidden Zone Supremes appear, should Gu Xuan act to pacify the Dark Turmoil?
Although this is merely a hypothesis, it may not necessarily not happen.
Because various signs indicate the Undying Heavenly Emperor bathes in Supreme blood to transform, and is more interested in Imperial Path Experts with special constitutions, special experiences.
The Taiyin Human Emperor transforming into a Chaos Body is one, the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor transforming into a War Immortal is also one.
Perhaps also including other Ancient Emperors, Great Emperors.
And Gu Xuan reincarnated a Second Life, even broke through Ten Thousand Daos' suppression to become Emperor, among the many Emperors and Emperors of the myriad ages, can also be called peerless and unmatched.
Such a heaven-defying figure, being targeted by the Undying Heavenly Emperor, is also normal.
That day after he battled the Cang Xu Supreme and Lei Huang, the indistinct, barely perceptible prying he sensed in the dark, is proof.
……
Gu Xuan finished reading the two corners of the Yin Ji, only in an instant.
"Many thanks, Human Emperor!"
He bowed solemnly to the Taiyin Human Emperor, to express gratitude.
Because these two corners of the Yin Ji indeed let him gain much, can be called not in vain this trip.
Verifying the speculation about the Undying Heavenly Emperor sneak attacking the Human Emperor is secondary, because Gu Xuan long had this mental preparation.
And the Human Emperor's cultivation insights, especially his insights into transforming into a Chaos Body, are what is truly precious in value.
This made Gu Xuan's understanding of the future path he must walk even clearer.
"No need for such formality, this life has been hard on you all, what I can do is only this much."
The Human Emperor sighed lightly.
Obviously.
Although merely a strand of his True Spirit will awakened, it also recalled his past supreme Dao Fruit, in an instant communicating with Heaven's Heart, knowing many things.
In the Universe, there is still a great crisis!
This era, the number of Beidou Forbidden Zone Supremes, the frequency of Dark Turmoil, is something even the Human Emperor's world-guarding era never encountered.
And there is the mysterious Underworld Forbidden Zone, for endless years, seemingly always plotting something, even the Human Emperor finds it somewhat unfathomable.
And the Undying Heavenly Emperor who never self-severed, terrifying strength yet secretly prying……
Such a situation, even the Human Emperor in his prime years finds somewhat tricky!
The two imprints he struck out were exactly what he had thought of that could help Gu Xuan.
"My time is short; you take care."
As the parting drew near, the Human Emperor nodded slightly to Gu Xuan, a trace of gentleness appearing in his eyes, along with hope.
Because Gu Xuan, with his Human Race Holy Body, had contended with several Forbidden Zones of Life, protecting the world for tens of thousands of years and pacifying multiple Dark Turmoils.
Such merit, such combat power — even the Taiyin Human Emperor, who was startlingly talented and arrogant toward the ancients and overbearing toward the present, felt remembrance and admiration, even a sigh of awe.
Words had reached this point.
The Human Emperor's Dao power circulated around him; he was about to leave this stretch of starry sky.
This was his journey alone; he would walk lonely toward his own return path.
Somewhat desolate, also somewhat lonely, yet it was a kind of destiny.
Returning across ten thousand ancient years, a fleeting glimpse like the night-blooming cereus, manifesting in the world — this already belonged to a kind of miracle; even the greatest existence ultimately cannot escape the curtain call.
A Golden Light Avenue manifested.
The Human Emperor took one step out, and it was the Endless Star Domain.
And that Cheng Xian Tong Dao on the Beidou Star also finally closed completely, with no more Immortal Path Laws escaping.
Yet even so, several death-defying old Great Saints gained some benefits; after absorbing a few wisps of immortal essence, their lifespans actually increased by several hundred years, leaving them excited beyond measure.
Ziwei Ancient Star.
This is a vast great star, and also a magnificent world, incomparably grand.
The land is boundless, vast and limitless; towering mountains soar into the clouds, mighty rivers leap hundreds of thousands of li, and there are many Immortal Lands where Spiritual Qi rushes to the heavens.
Grand yet not losing grace, majestic yet not losing immortal qi — it shakes the heart.
From this Life Source Star, a total of three Great Emperor-level figures have walked out.
The Taiyin Human Emperor was the earliest of them; afterward came the Taiyang Sheng Huang and the Hengyu Great Emperor.
Because of this, the entire ancient star is wreathed in Purple Qi, auspicious clouds presenting themselves — a blessed land for cultivation.
Even though millions of years have passed, this ancient star still bears the Dao Marks left by the Human Emperor, for he was truly too powerful.
Above the planet.
The Human Emperor stands in the starry sky; his figure is majestic, standing naturally, black hair shoulder-length, possessing a heroic bearing that sweeps across ancient and modern times undefeated.
This moment.
The many cultivators on the ancient star had long since sensed the Human Emperor's arrival; that vast Imperial Prestige shakes the ancients and dazzles the present.
"Paying respects to the Human Emperor!"
Endless years have passed; the Human Emperor's legend and merit still spread through ten thousand ages, and his scriptures expounded the greatest secret of Heaven and Earth's Origin, benefiting countless generations ancient and modern.
Looking at the former Ancestor Star, the Human Emperor fell silent for a moment; his Divine Sense flashed with too many things.
Here lies buried an era of his — beloved, kin and old friends, even including enemies...
A white-haired, aged Great Saint with little lifespan left broke out of the seal from the depths of the Taiyin Divine Sect, soaring upward at extreme speed, wanting to approach the starry sky where the Human Emperor was.
This is a direct-line descendant of the Human Emperor's line; old tears flowing, excited beyond measure.
As for the Human Emperor's blood-related child, the Taiyin Imperial Son, he had already perished in a Dark Turmoil of that year, facing the Dark Supreme who came to blood-sacrifice living beings.
"Foolish child... ultimately still perished; this is no longer my era."
The Human Emperor sighed lightly; his eyes held the loneliness of ten thousand ages.
Accompanied by an imprint striking out, the Human Emperor Seal above his head also flew out, arriving beside that old Great Saint.
This imprint was engraved with the Human Emperor's essence blood and supreme restriction, integrated into the Human Emperor Seal — a backhand he left behind; perhaps in some future Dark Turmoil it can play a role.
In this process.
The Human Emperor Seal sobbed; the seal body trembled violently, as if extremely unwilling to part, and as if grief could not be stopped.
But ultimately it still calmed down.
It knew its Owner's intent: to guard his bloodline, and also guard this ancient star as much as possible.
After this matter was completed, the Human Emperor set off alone, once again stepping onto the journey.
Beidou Star.
Also called Burial Emperor Star.
For how many ten-thousands of years, cultivators from all over the Universe have come to this place — some for pilgrimage, some to seek friends.
Among them were no lack of Quasi-Emperor-level experts, the supreme existences of their Star Domains, Ancestor-level figures revered by hundreds of millions.
Yet upon arriving here, not a single one failed to be low-key and reverent — dragons coil, tigers lie down, even giving birth to dread.
Because this ancient star is an extremely special existence in the Universe — the burial ground of ancient Great Emperors, burying too many secrets, and moreover the Seven Forbidden Zones of Life that have lasted through ten thousand ages.
No matter who, approaching this ancient star can feel a terrifying to the extreme Qi mechanism, overwhelming all living beings; therefore never has anyone dared run wild.
But today an accident appeared.
Accompanied by a Golden Light Avenue extending from the starry sky.
A vast, peerless supreme Divine Sense descended — upright and peaceful, fearless and unafraid — sweeping the entire Burial Emperor Star, even including the several Forbidden Zones of Life!
And the many cultivators on the ancient star, though shaken, were not overly surprised or astonished.
Because the comer is the Taiyin Human Emperor!
This alone is already enough to explain everything!
The Golden Light Avenue continued extending, reaching straight to the Xi Mo.
This was somewhat unexpected; the Human Emperor did not descend upon the several Forbidden Zones of Life, but turned into a streak of Immortal Light and went to the land where Buddhism flourishes.
Xu Mi Shan.
This is an incomparably majestic giant peak, also Buddhism's most core Holy Mountain; the Dàléiyīnsì sits at its summit.
A figure whose might awes ten thousand ages arrived before the mountain, descending from the Heavens, shaking all Buddhist disciples in the entire Xi Mo.
Among them were several Great Saint Realm ancient monks who, placed in the Outside World, could be called venerable in a Xing Xing or even a Star Domain, and on the current Xu Mi Shan were existences at the Ancient Buddha level.
But whether Ancient Buddhas or other Buddhist disciples, at this moment all of them knelt prostrate toward Xu Mi Shan, kowtowing and paying respects to that figure whose might towered over the ages.
They fundamentally could not control themselves; this was a submission originating from the soul!
Clang……
The bell's sound lingered, spreading across the whole of Xi Mo, resonating through the Taiyu, as if it had transcended the boundless years to arrive.
Xu Mi Shan trembled, Da Le Yin Si shook, the entire Xi Mo land's Buddhist light flourished greatly, as if myriad Buddhas and Bodhisattvas manifested in the sky, their precious appearances solemn and dignified.
In the span of a few breaths, the Human Emperor ascended the towering and majestic Xu Mi Shan.
"So it is; Amitabha Buddha also counts as Jing Xian."
His gaze swept across, he penetrated to the bottom of the Buddhism founded by Amitabha Buddha, nodded slightly, and spoke softly.
Om!
In the most mysterious Ancient Land of Xu Mi Shan, an ancient artifact revived on its own, facing the Taiyin Human Emperor.
The Ji Zhi Imperial Weapon of Amitabha Buddha Great Emperor, the Mo Chu Chu!
In an instant, Chaos Qi coiled about, boundless immortal radiance rushed into the heavens, the aura of an Ancient Great Emperor permeated — this was the True Spirit of the artifact thoroughly reviving, without a shred of reservation, causing everyone to tremble in shock.
And even more surprising, the Mo Chu Chu trembled once, halted before the Human Emperor, and actually performed a salute like a person, as if begging forgiveness.
An old monk sighed.
He knew much, and roughly understood why the Mo Chu Chu acted thus.
"No need for this; it is merely a strand of evil intent, nothing to speak of."
The Human Emperor spoke softly, and did not pursue the matter of what Amitabha Buddha Great Emperor had done to his Divine Sense.
But the Mo Chu Chu still vibrated unceasingly, extremely serious and solemn, insisting on begging forgiveness on behalf of its Owner.
Afterwards.
The Human Emperor pressed the question: whether Buddhism's gathering of such vast Belief Power was harmful to All Living Beings.
Though his voice was calm, it naturally carried a Divine Might that could not be resisted, even when facing the True Spirit of a later-generation Great Emperor's Ji Zhi Imperial Weapon.
If other cultivators did this, it would only make people find it laughable, deeming them overestimating their abilities.
But this is the Taiyin Human Emperor; no one dares question his majesty.
Even if now he is only a strand of True Spirit will, his ancient-and-modern-unrivaled Qi mechanism still fully displays itself; even facing another Great Emperor it is the same.
The Mo Chu Chu solemnly replied, emitting a divine sound, ceaselessly expounding the Buddhist principle of equality of All Living Beings.
And the Human Emperor stood atop the peak of Xu Mi Shan, gazing out over the whole of Xi Mo, and also saw clearly many things.
After a long while.
He finally departed, leaving behind the Mo Chu Chu and the many ancient monks behind him, respectfully seeing him off.
"Respectfully sending off the Human Emperor!"
The Golden Light Avenue spread out; in merely a Step Across, he went from Xi Mo to Donghuang.
Desolate Ancient Forbidden Ground.
Outside the Mountain Gate, the Human Emperor nodded solemnly, his face revealing a strand of gravity; he sensed something.
And obviously, the two Supremes sealed within also had some reaction.
Crash!
That existence ten zhang tall, covered entirely in golden long hair like a War God, tightened the iron chains on its body and bowed with clasped hands toward the Human Emperor.
Even that Immortal Cocoon at the bottom of the boundless Abyss transmitted a strand of Divine Sense, seemingly greeting the Human Emperor.
However.
All of this was unknown to Outside World cultivators, because it exceeded their realms by too much.
Only the three parties directly involved — the Human Emperor and the other two — themselves understood.
Of course, also including Gu Xuan in the Xing Kong; only upon reaching his realm could one penetrate the terrifying Restrictions within the Forbidden Zone and Perceive these things.
Afterwards.
The Human Emperor departed, and did not say anything further.
All along his way, he did not go to the other Six Great Life Forbidden Zones, nor did he pay them attention, not going to listen or respond.
Dao differs, they do not conspire together.
Self-Severing, using All Living Beings as Blood Food, to achieve the purpose of long existence in the Shi — if the Human Emperor did so, he naturally could also achieve it, but this is far from his true heart.
His gaze swept over the Ji Zhi Aristocratic Families on the Donghuang Dadi.
Yaochi Holy Land, Hengyu Family, Eastern Desolation Ji Family……
Om!
The Imperial Weapons of all the Holy Lands revived automatically — the Xi Huang Pagoda, the Hengyu Furnace, the Void Realm……
Seemingly seeing off this one who once ruled over this Universe and founded the Human Race's glorious, peerless Human Emperor!
"Still there is regret, unable to see the Immortal……"
Some desolation, some Guxi; the Human Emperor's single soft sigh made all who heard it give rise to a bleak sorrow.
In a stretch of Xing Kong, the Human Emperor's figure gradually blurred, gradually faded.
Finally.
Along with a scattering of Light Rain, that Majestic Figure thoroughly vanished, disappearing into the Void.
Wishing all Book Friends: Happy New Year, family happiness, Year of the Snake great fortune, all matters smooth!
